First Conqueror of California.

Capt Cleveland father of Professor H.
w. s. Cleveland the well known land
scape architect, was an adventurous
Yankee navigator, and the story of his life
reads like a romance. During one voyage
he ran his vessel into a Mexican port COM
manded by Il blue bloOded Spanish hidalgO,
who also controlled a small fort in the
Bay of Santiago. He peremptOrily ordered
Capt Cleveland to leave the place, and as
the latter was passing the fort shot was
fired across the Prov of his vessel. This
was too much for the patience of the
Yankee captain, and he at once ordered
the three small guns that he carried
turned upon the fort and opened fire. In
about ten minutes the fort was knocked
to pieces and the little Spanish garrison
driven out peII-mell. Subsequently Capt.
Cleveland received q letter from Commo-
dore BiddIe, United States navy, asking
him to become governor of California,
and saying that he was justly entitled to
the position because he was the first
man to conquer the territory. Pioneer

Slave Hunting in Africa.

There seems to be reason to fear that
slave hunting is again largely on the in
crease in central Africa. That was, of
course, fOretold as a certain consequence
of the abandonment Of the Soudan. Now
we hear that the station at Stanley Falls,
on the upper Congo, has been abandoned
under the pressure of Arab hoStilities, in
stigated it is believed, by the veteran
slave hunter Tippu lib, whose opera
tions in this very region have been de-
scribed by Mr.. Stanley. That gentleman
came up with q single caravan of $500
slaves, mostly women and children; and
he calculates that for every slave caught
six had been killed in the foray. The ter
rible sufferings Of the desert marches,
which the caravans have commonly to
make, cause, Of course, q frightful waste
of life. Still the difficulty remains as to
what becomes Of these vast drOves of hui
man beings. One gentleman states that
10000 slaves passed his house on their
way to the east coast in a single year.
The east coast is closely watched by our
ships, and only a chance cargo is sup
posed to escape their vigilance. Where
did the 10000 go tO?-St. James Ga
Zette.
